Stik - you're not doing it right - it should be more like trying to set a lap record at the Nürburgring in a Range Rover, while towing your tractor.

He does have a point though - a Pitts S2 does deliver a better price/performance ratio, and *everyone* should have some Pitts time - but you just don't get the same heavy-metal buzz in a Pitts that the Yak delivers.

Do both, that's my advice.
